"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I'm not really talking about people that have never been successful. I'm talking about you guys out there that have been successful but are going through a bad patch. 2010 I always had a couple of women on the go and the quality (looks wise at least) was pretty decent.

2011 - so far one SNL and one hooker. I've turned down sex a couple of times. One chick was a bit short and dumpy and the other just didn't do it for me.

It's starting to get me down, hence these posts I've been making about hitting the wall. That thought depresses me. I thought one real advantage guys have is that we have longevity and can game well into our 30's or even 40's. Was I wrong about this? I'm in shape, look young, etc. Surely it should still be pretty feasibly to get women in mid to late twenties?

I could settle down tomorrow. It wouldn't be that hard to find a girl that wants to be with me, if nothing else because I have cash (I'm in Asia and girls are mercenary out here). I really don't want that though. I'd only settle down as a calculated decision if I thought that I had hit that mythical wall. Even then I'm not sure I'd want all the hassle and bull**** of dealing with a relationship.

More and more when I go out to clubs I see girls doing all the choosing - you know I see really good looking guys getting blown off by mediocre women. It's distressing. If it was just me I could accept that but I hate seeing this. It's so much easier with social circle game. Those girls know you and you probably have value already in their eyes. It seems hard to build value with random approaches.

Hate feeling that girls have most of the power in this game. I know that's the idea of game, to turn that round. I've never really worked on pick up game as such cos i thought I never needed it but given this dry spell i'm rethinking that. I bought Mystery's book even (I don't even like the guy - I mean he's probably a decent guy but he looks like a total douche).

Do you guys think game really works? I'm not talking about generic high level game like thinking you're the prize, improving yourself, etc. I'm talking about specific game - openers, techniques in the field, etc. I don't mind putting effort in I guess but only if it's gonna have results. The other damn thing is none of these damn girls really speak enough english to game! I speak their language but not really well.

You know this whole thing about Asian girls being so easy for white guys is really a myth. Don't get me wrong, it's easy to find an Asian girlfriend. But the chances are she'll be pretty ropey and won't be the best looking. Also I often go to clubs where it's all Asian girls and lots of white guys and it's still the white guys doing all of the work. Sometimes it's different but it's not like these girls are throwing themselves at the guys like a lot of people believe. Again i'm not talking about me, just what I see around me. It has happened to me a few times that girls have totally thrown themselves at me here but it's not a regular occurrence. I'm in a big city though. I think it might be different in smaller places where you have more novelty value or indeed in poorer Asian countries.

Actually I'm getting really sick of Asians to be honest. The novelty has truly worn off. They're simply not anywhere near as beautiful as Caucasians/Latinas. And they're damn annoying, squealing with laughter and excitement at every little lame thing. Maybe time to get out of here. I miss white girls.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I'm in a dry spell myself. I'll do extremely well and then my "game" or "mojo" disappears, sometimes for months. It goes in cycles. I've never been consistent. Late 2010, I was on fire, but totally lost it. I did pretty well this past spring, but lost it again this summer. Hopefully, I can recover before year-end.

The weirdest part is that during these "off cycles," I don't even feel like the same person. It's like it was someone else that scored, not me. Either that or it seems really distant. A hookup several months ago seems like 10 years ago. If I'm celibate more than a few months, I literally feel like a virgin again. It's like prior s*x never actually happened. Fortunately, it is like riding a bicycle. Once it actually happens, I remember how lol.

But keep in mind that this game, like life, requires MOMENTUM. You have to keep trying and eventually you'll get SOME action which can "snowball" into more. I don't think there is any other way to get your mojo back. Of course, you can't try too hard. By all means work on other areas of life, but keep gaming here and there until you a bite or preferably several bites.

As we discussed before, I totally understand your concerns about possibly "hitting the wall." While I don't deny that can eventually happen, I try not to focus on that since it's not helpful.

I'm not really a fan of formal PUA game. IME, you end up entertaining the girls rather than attracting them. Feel free to try it. Every guy is different, but it's not my thing.

After my break-up I've only had sex with 4 different girls sense. Granted, I get sex from them consistently, but usually after a break-up I go on a fvck spree and nail like 7 chicks in one month. I guess you can say I'm in a dry spell as well, but I haven't really been trying as hard lately either. I'm a little more apathetic now, and sometimes I don't have the patience like I used to, so any girl who gives me trouble gets dropped immediately. Perhaps I'm just nexting too quick, or just starting to realize all woman are crazy. :p

Heh Scars seems like you're doing ok though? 4 girls doesn't sound at all bad - I don't know exactly when your break up was but I bet you're going to say it was a month or something.

This is two girls in a year so far (and one doesn't even count).

Thanks Mike. I hope we can both snap out of this dry spell. I found that when I first realised I was in a dry spell I just felt a bit bemused and amused by it. The longer it goes on the lower the confidence gets and the less chances I have of actually turning this around. Talk about a vicious cycle. You're right though, I think you just have to push through it somehow.

I suppose on the positive side I can say that at least I'm turning girls down. Although for how much longer I don't know!

Cheers guys.
